23 vinyl pressings of Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind / I Like You are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, France and more. One of them is Pink Elephant PE 22.055-G.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 22.055-G, 22.055-G, PE 22.055G, 2001 266) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 22 055 - A and 22 055 - B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
